Now that we’re nearly halfway through July, I’m reminded to really dig into the summer feels. Long afternoon picnics. Days at the beach. Copious amounts of rosé. I want to soak in each and every ounce of vitamin D (properly covered in sunscreen of course) and try to lounge just a little bit more than usual because I know the back half of summer is going to go way.too.fast. I hope you get some good time to enjoy the slow this weekend.

Below are a few of the links I hope you can sit back and enjoy this weekend!

Speaking of picnics, this outdoor party is goals.

And so is the brand new furniture line launched by my long-time online friend Will of Bright Bazaar. I still remember when he was a teeny tiny blogger newbie – and now he’s brightening the entire world with his charm and style. Check his new collection out here.

What I’m making for dinner this weekend.

I’ve been watching a ton of stand up on Netflix recently, but Nanette by Hannah Gadsby blew.my.mind. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and if you’re really lucky you might be a slightly better person after watching it. I felt like I was.

A cool, stylish way to display photos of your kids.

Victoria’s trip to Spain is giving me serious wanderlust.

Scratch that, maybe I should keep up my staycation streak.

One thing I will certainly do this weekend? A teeny bit of shopping – I’ve gone ahead and picked out the ten things I want to snag during early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. If you are a Nordstrom cardholder you can shop their biggest sale of the year an entire week earlier than the rest of the general public. Might as well get while the gettin’ is good. You can see my list below and shop all my picks throughout the sale right HERE.

A classic pair of Vans ($39) for the win.

Some good summer stripes.

A clean and classic pair of denim.

And a good ripped and worn pair of Levis($85!).

A fedora perfect for when temps start to dip again.

A cute white Nike ($55). Yes, there’s a sneakers theme going on.

The coat I’m going to want to wear all fall.

And the top I’ll use to dress up those pairs of jeans.

A badass Alexander Wang bootie.

And the hoodie I’d like to hang out in all weekend.

Till Monday friends!
